Why C++ compiles slowly

[Marianne Gagnon]

Very right, and even more I might add a thing : the STL itself is just HUGE; and unless you live in a shell, you're going to use some library; that some library in all likeliness will include the STL directly or indirectly; and each and everyone of your files end up building the entire STL everytime they're built
